The word Mantra means literally « thought as a tool » and comes from sanskrit, from the ancient Hindu "Rishis", highly initiated in the Arts of Magic.
Even if people usually aren't aware of it, the vibration of sounds in general, and particularly the spoken word, have intrinsically a power on the matter, dense (physical state) or subtle (psychological state). For example, you have certainly noticed that certain high-pitched sounds (train whistle, boats siren…) or more low-pitched sounds (industrial sirens, percussion instruments…) can give shivers and all kinds of unpleasant or pleasant feelings having no link whatsoever with the eardrum, as if these sounds had an impact on the organism as a whole.
Many people doing martial arts know of the famous « Kiaï », the paralysing scream… which can even be lethal! The Gregorian chanting, monks utilizing similar techniques to enter states of superior consciousness, to celebrate their magic.
